As Aizu's more than 5,000 troops entered Echigo Province, Nagao Fujikei's situation became more and more unfavorable.

In the second year of Yonglu, October 10. After the Aizu generals such as Ichikawa Fujiwaka, Ishiguro Mitsuyoshi, Tanaka Masashiro, Tanaka Masadari, Shimohidehisa, Shimohisa, and Anazawa Shintoku led 5,000 troops into Echigo, they quickly captured Kamo Castle and Hanyuda Castle at the junction of Echigo Yangbei and Sino-Vietnam, and killed Nagao Fuji Keikata's powerful generals Wada Kiyohachi and Hayabe Shinfu.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, General Hosokoshi and Zenbei Numatari and Zenbei Numata and other generals led their troops to raid Sone Castle, Hakusan Island, Numaturi Castle, Yoshida Castle and other places where Hiyama's Ando Army was stationed, killing more than 600 Andong troops overnight, while the Uesugi army suffered less than 50 casualties.

October 11, Takajo Honmaru Ohiroma.

"Report to the guardian Daiden, Kiba Castle is surrounded by the Uesugi army, and the Ueda Fujiemon Captain Hall is in urgent need of reinforcements to rescue!"

"Report to the guardian of the Daiden, Nutashi Castle was captured by the Uesugi army, and the Hiyama Andong army was completely destroyed!"

"Report to the Guardian Daiden, the Hosokoshi General, Numatsu Zenbei and other head samurai were rebelled by Shinbata and have now fallen to the Uesugi Army!"

As one bad news after another kept coming, Nagao Fujikei couldn't sit still any longer. He knew very well how big the gap between his strength and the strength of the Uesugi family was. At the beginning, the army was raised to rebel, but it was only to take advantage of Kenshin's absence in Echigo, and the court was busy attacking Kanto and Okuwa. However, this is no longer the case.

Due to the previous decision to mobilize the generals of Nanide Ha to replace the generals of Shonai to attack Yuri-gun, Shonai was able to quickly move south into Echigo to quell the rebellion. Not only that, but the Asadachi also mobilized the Aizu generals to lead the army into Echigo. Nagao Fuji Keikata's forces in Echigo, Yangbei and the coast were almost wiped out in an instant, and even the access to the sea and external communication was cut off by Shinbata Shigeya and other generals.

"Brother, let's make peace with the Uesugi family for now! If this continues, the family will be destroyed by the Uesugi army! Nagao Keiji pleaded.

"What do you say?! Do you want the old man to go to the Uesugi family to negotiate an armistice?! The last thing Nagao Fujikei wants to hear at the moment is the armistice and these four words. If he really had this idea, then he would have to surrender to Kenshin not long after Shonai entered Echigo.

"Elder brother, if you continue to fight to the end, then the Shimoda Nagao family will be cut off!" Nagao Keiji continued to exhort bitterly.

"My Shimoda Nagao family has been a relative of the Fuchu Nagao family since Shinano Mamoru became the prince of Jinggong, but after she succeeded as the governor of the family and has now become the governor of the Kanto region, has the family been crowned with a territory?! Not a single stone of territory! Nagao Fujikei didn't want to accept Nagao Keiji's advice at this time, and he still wanted to continue to fight against the Uesugi family, because he hadn't completely lost, and he still had considerable power in the Central Vietnam region.

"But brother, you're still in too much of a hurry! The Fujiwara town government is already preparing to return Ueno Ichikoku to the Goyagata Palace, and it won't be long before the family will be transferred to Ueno. Nagao Keiji shook his head helplessly and said.

"If you really want to keep the bloodline of the Shimoda Nagao family, then you should surrender to the Uesugi army first." Nagao Fujikei said with a sigh.

"Elder brother, I knew today, why bother in the first place! The Hiyama Anto family, Minato Yasuto family, Tozawa family, Spo family, Osaki family, Kasai family, and Yuri Party were no match for the Uesugi family. The Takeda clan was now invading the Tokugawa clan's Mikawa Province, and was just sending a detachment of divisions into Okushinano. Once the Urano family in Ueno is destroyed, then the main family is completely isolated. "Nagao Keiji is well aware of the current development of the situation in Echigo and neighboring countries.

"The old man is going to fight the Uesugi family to the end! Humility doesn't understand people's hearts at all! Nagao Fujijing said after patting a few hard.

"Hakusan, where the carpenter's assistant hall is stationed, and Kiba Castle, where the Ueda Fujiemon Captain's hall is stationed, are already in a hurry, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the family's castles in Central Vietnam will fall in large numbers." Nagao Keiji didn't want to continue to dissuade Nagao Fujikei at the moment, because he could already see that Nagao Fujikei had already made up his mind.

"Now that most of the soldiers in the coastal cities occupied by our side have fallen, then try to withdraw the troops into their own territory and hold on, and let Nagao Heiroku stick to Zao Castle." Nagao Fujikei was also exhausted at the moment, and he couldn't think of a better way to deal with the current crisis.

On October 12, at the same time that Nagao Fujikei ordered the defensive line to be retracted, Usami Dingkatsu suggested that the Shinbata Shigeke Fire Army should move south to the castle of the central and Vietnamese fortresses. Once the Uesugi army kills Nagao Nagakei, Nagao Fujikei's right-hand man, then Nagao Fujikei's morale will be greatly damaged.

Shibata Shigeya immediately led his army south, and handed over the captured Nagao Fuji Keikata Castle to the Mizuhara Takaya to defend. And Kiba Castle, which was garrisoned by Ueda, was captured by Yorihisa Kokuni.

At the same time, the situation of the Urano family, the big todo in Ueno, was not much better than that of the Shimoda Nagao family.

Although the Urano family has been in the western Ueno area for a long time and the castle soldiers in the generals have been strengthened one after another, the Urano family will not be able to support it for long without any foreign aid.

Due to the many defeats of the Takeda family in Ueno, most of the retainers of the Takeda family opposed sending troops to Nishi-Ueno. Therefore, the Takeda family has no intention of sending troops to help the Urano family at the moment.

In order to destroy the Urano family in one fell swoop, the court mobilized the retainers of the Ueno country and the wealthy families who submitted to the Uesugi family, and prepared to destroy the Urano family, who had been hooking up with the Takeda family for a long time, within two months. To this end, the court deliberately mobilized an army of more than 25,000 people, with Namba Tian Kenji as the general general, and attacked Urano Ling from the east, west, and south.

On October 13, Namba Kenji ordered Generals Minori Omori, Yushige Soga, Nishirita, Shibuyamichi Hosoya, and Mitsushige Takayama (Mitsushige Nagao) to lead an army of 5,000 troops to attack the Urano Domain from the south, Toshima Tairai, Shibata Kiyomasa, Nagai Masashi, Seo Masakatsu, Tobira Tomota, Wada Yoshitsune, and Shibata Yukinari to lead 6,000 troops to attack the Urano Domain from the east, and Numata Yumitsu, Ogasawara Nagasawara Nagasaki, Shito Shigesada, Momoi Yoshitaka, Shirakura Gozaemon, and Kohata Keitasa to lead 6,000 troops to attack the Urano Domain from the west. And Namba Tian Kenji himself led his 8,000 troops into Takaru Castle.

Although the Urano family took the opportunity to seize part of the territory of Azuma County and Gunma County when the Uesugi family attacked Ueno, at this moment, when the Uesugi army was pressing, Urano Shigenari had to endure the pain and give up the places such as Sannokura Castle, Key Jacket Castle, and Tenjin Card, which had not been captured for a long time.

And the first battle after General Omori Minori, Soga Yushige, Nishitota, Hosoya Shimichi, Takayama Mitsushige and other generals led 5,000 troops into the Urano Domain, which was the important town of the Urano family, Gonda Castle. Since Gonda Castle was very important to the Urano family, Urano Shigetari sent his younger brother Urano Shigekatsu to Gonda Castle to assist the sovereign of Gonda Castle in guarding Kinawaji. Although Urano Shigenari attached great importance to the important town of Gonda Castle, the defenders of the castle were only about 500 people, and the number of people who assisted in the garrison could barely reach 1,000.

After a little discussion, the generals such as Minori Omori, Soga Yushige, Nishiridada, Hosoya Shimichi, and Takayama Mitsushige decided not to waste time here, and prepared to launch a strong attack on Gonda Castle directly, intending to capture Gonda Castle in a short period of time.

On October 14, before dawn, the iron artillery of the Uesugi army suddenly launched an attack on the Urano army on Gonda Castle in silence. At first, the Urano army used the Ibana as a cover to return fire with bows and arrows, but as the Uesugi army continued to approach, defenders continued to flee from Ninomaru to Honmaru or over the wall. In less than half an hour, after a fierce attack by the Uesugi army, they finally entered Gonda Castle, and the defenders began to retreat to Honmaru to hold on, and Gonda Castle Sovereign Taawaji Norito was killed in a fierce battle. The Uesugi army then captured Ninomaru and Nishinomaru at Gonda Castle and stationed iron artillery and archery teams to garrison them.

The Uesugi army, which had captured Gonda Castle Ninomaru and Nishinomaru, did not stop there, and the leading army of Takayama Mitsushige pursued the victory while waiting for an opportunity to fire at the wooden buildings that were taking advantage of the victory. At one point, the Urano army in Honmaru was in an extremely passive situation, and their morale was low, and the defenders constantly turned over the board screen to surrender to the Uesugi army. However, soon after, the general of the defending army, Urano Shigekatsu, began to personally lead the flag to fight back, and with his encouragement, the Urano army became more and more courageous, and the momentum of the Uesugi army was gradually suppressed, and the Honmaru was temporarily held.

However, Urano Shigekatsu did not expect that he would advance too quickly and not many troops would follow. Zeng Iyu saw that Urano Shigekatsu's troops were very close to his army, so he immediately ordered more than 100 iron cannons under his command to fire a salvo, and at the same time, he also led more than 500 people in his headquarters to launch a surprise attack.

Soga Yushige's counterattack had a miraculous effect, and the original offensive momentum of Urano Shigekatsu's division was suddenly disrupted, and the troops that had been attacked began to fall into confusion one after another. The Uesugi army, which had been forced to retreat, also joined the counterattack, and in turn began to pursue the retreating Urano army, and hundreds of the Urano army were killed on the spot. After seeing that the situation was not good, Urano Shigekatsu hurriedly led his army to retreat towards Honmaru.

Just when the Uesugi army attacked Honmaru, Urano Shigekatsu had already committed suicide in Ohiroma.
